Electric Technology Auto News: Have you ever seen a Ford with 12 exhaust pipes? Tell us about your favorite car

I believe that for many car enthusiasts, the first step is to modify the exhaust. When you step on the accelerator and hear the loud sound, many people are obsessed with it. But have you ever thought about why some exhaust pipes are more, some are less, some are on the left, some are on the right, and some are in the middle? Today we will talk about those things about car exhaust pipes.

What are the types of exhaust pipes?

Before talking about the exhaust pipe, we must first understand the structure of the exhaust system. After the car exhaust is generated, it first needs to be filtered by the three-way catalytic converter, then pass through the muffler to reduce the noise, and finally be discharged into the air through the exhaust pipe. The engines of ordinary family cars are designed at the front of the car, so the long exhaust system is designed to be a long strip running through the bottom of the car, which is most suitable.

However, the long design is only suitable for those models with front engines. If you encounter a sports car with a rear engine, it will not be suitable. At this time, the exhaust system can only be designed to be a little bent so that it can be stuffed into the back of the sports car.

Are the more exhaust pipes the better?

This is true for those original European and American cars. But it is limited by the number of exhaust "pipes", not exhaust "ports". One more exhaust pipe can share the pressure of exhaust treatment, but simply having more exhaust ports is useless.

The number of exhaust pipes depends on the power and displacement of the car. Sometimes one is enough, for example:

Of course, for some models that want to improve their status but don't want to add too much cost, the rear bumper design will give you seemingly double-sided exhaust, but in fact only one is real, and the other is purely decorative. It will be exposed when the weather gets cold, and only one side will emit smoke.

Having more exhaust pipes does look impressive, but some of these modifications seem to be useless except for increasing the weight of the car. So you don't need too many exhaust pipes, just enough.

About the left and right exhaust pipes

Generally speaking, in countries where cars drive on the right, the driver's seat is on the left. In order to balance the weight of the car, it is more reasonable to have the fuel tank on the right, and the exhaust pipe is designed to be on the left. However, when introducing car models from different countries into China, it seems that some laziness has been used, and you can see them on the left and right on the streets.

Many people think that the exhaust pipe in the middle looks very domineering, and this can be achieved by changing the exhaust pipe design. For example, the Pagani below and the modified Beidouxing.

If we talk about the car with the most bizarre exhaust pipe, it must be the Porsche 918.

This expensive supercar has the exhaust pipe designed behind the seats, which looks very cool, but it has become like this over time, and it is said to be very difficult to clean.

In general, the exhaust pipe of each car is designed according to the conditions of the vehicle itself, and it is best to conform to the overall design of the vehicle.
